I gaze through grandma's window, As so often as I can; She tells me grand adventures, About when time began. She cradles me in that big chair, With hands all bent and sore; Hours and hours I do listen, Each story craving more.

In a comic masterpiece following the misadventures of a simple but hugely ambitious waiter in pre-World War II Prague, who rises to wealth only to lose everything with the onset of Communism, Bohumil Hrabal takes us on a tremendously funny and satirical trip through 20th-century Czechoslovakia. First published in 1971 in a typewritten edition, then finally printed in book form in 1989, I Served the King of England is "an extraordinary and subtly tragicomic novel" (The New York Times), telling the tale of Ditie, a hugely ambitious but simple waiter in a deluxe Prague hotel in the years before World War II. Ditie is called upon to serve not the King of England, but Haile Selassie. It is one of the great moments in his life. Eventually, he falls in love with a Nazi woman athlete as the Germans are invading Czechoslovakia. After the war, through the sale of valuable stamps confiscated from the Jews, he reaches the heights of his ambition, building a hotel. He becomes a millionaire, but with the institution of communism, he loses everything and is sent to inspect mountain roads. Living in dreary circumstances, Ditie comes to terms with the inevitability of his death, and with his place in history.

This is the story of a skinny little country boy, born in a little community called, Swift, Missouri. Swift wasn’t big enough to be a town. It was just a dusty piece of farm land just off highway 61. That is not even charted on the map anymore. My Dad was a farmer. Not unlike most black men during that time in the south. He earned his living, (that is, if you could call it a living) by the sweat of his brow, plowing up farmland during the fall of the year, and planting come the spring of the year, and then came harvesting time a few months later. That was the ritual for blacks, and a few whites for the rest of their lives. That is, unless they were fortunate like some others, and got a chance to leave that hell hole called a farm. My dad, I’m sure like his father, and grand father before him did the same thing. Walking behind a plow and mules, planting then came the chopping of the cotton and after that came the picking of the cotton. Now that was a life’s ritual from the time you were big enough to walk and talk until you were ready for the grave. What a life. Now the Crume’s were fortunate enough to break that cycle at some point in life .

Leona Ahnen grew up a confirmed tomboy on her family's Southern Wisconsin farm during the 1930s, in the depths of America's Great Depression. Her poignant story, as told to friend and author Kelly Simons, is the recounting of the mutual struggle and never-ending work that bound her family and neighbors to the land and to each other. Leona's Legacy is a heartfelt, true tale of shared toil and celebration, gentle laughter and quiet fear, real suffering and honest joy. Leona's Legacy will take you back to a time when life was hard but simple, work physically demanding but satisfying, and children's imaginations powered them through adventures with Tom Mix and The Lone Ranger as they sat enthralled next to a crystal-powered radio set. Join Leona and her grade school classmates as they scheme to undermine a strict new teacher, go along for a wild ride on a runaway hay wagon, and feel the hair stand up on your neck during family ghost stories. Readers of all ages will appreciate this nostalgic trip over the back roads and barnyards of a rural America still untouched by the horror and cynicism of World War II. Let Leona's Legacy remind you of the real people and community values that still make our country strong. Book jacket.

Longlands is an area steeped in history. It is one of the most significant neighbourhoods in the story of how Bradford developed, both as an industrial city and as a beacon for social improvements, yet it is seldom talked about today. Hidden in the northwest of the City Centre and often referred to as ‘Chain Street’, this district boasts some fantastic amenities and examples of built heritage including the Castle Hotel, Perkin House, the New Beehive Inn and St Patrick’s Church. It was for decades host to the City’s Irish Club and has been the subject of major regeneration in recent years. Even more hidden is the tale of how this area came to be built in the first place, how it grew, its decline by the late 19th Century and the battle to bring it social justice and environmental improvement that raged on for decades. "Longlands: The History of a ‘Lost’ Bradford Neighbourhood” was written following research into post-war life in the area including speaking to current and former residents. Edited by Jonathan Crewdson, Director of the Neighbourhood Project CIC, it explores the history of one of the least well-known historic neighbourhoods in the heart of the City Centre from its origins in the early 19th Century until more recent times.

CBC/NCSS Notable Social Studies Trade Book Finalist for the Edgar Allan Poe Award ILA Young Adults’ Choices “A provocative, sensitive, and oh-so-timely read.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Ambitious, thought-provoking, and very readable.” —Booklist (starred review) “Vaught brings history to life as she connects the past with the present, showing how acts of violence, betrayal, and courage both color and blend the histories of two families.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) A mysterious note takes Dani Beans into the secrets of Ole Miss and its dark past in this compelling middle grade novel from the author of Footer Davis Probably Is Crazy. “Sooner or later, we’re all gonna be okay.” That’s what Dani’s Grandma Beans used to say. But that was before she got Alzheimer’s. Lately, Dani isn’t so sure Grandma Beans was right. In fact, she isn’t sure of a lot of things, like why Mac Richardson suddenly doesn’t want to be her friend, and why Grandma Beans and Avadelle Richardson haven’t spoken in decades. Lately, Grandma Beans doesn’t make a lot of sense. But when she tells Dani to find a secret key and envelope that she’s hidden, Dani can’t ignore her. So she investigates, with the help of her friend, Indri, and her not-friend, Mac. Their investigation takes them deep into the history of Oxford, Mississippi, and the riots surrounding the desegregation of Ole Miss. The deeper they dig, the more secrets they uncover. Were Grandma Beans and Avadelle at Ole Miss the night of the Meredith Riot? And why would they keep it a secret? The more Dani learns about her grandma’s past, the more she learns about herself and her own friendships—and it’s not all good news. History and present day collide in this mystery that explores how echoes of the past can have profound consequences.

Lulu and Merry's childhood was never ideal, but on the day before Lulu's tenth birthday their father propels them into a nightmare. He's always hungered for the love of the girls' self-obsessed mother; after she throws him out, their troubles turn deadly. Lulu had been warned not let her father in, but when he shows up drunk, he's impossible to ignore. He bullies his way past Lulu, who then listens in horror as her parents struggle. She runs for help, but discovers upon her return that he's murdered her mother, stabbed her five-year-old sister, Merry, and tried, unsuccessfully, to kill himself. Lulu and Merry are effectively orphaned by their mother's death and father's imprisonment. The girls' relatives refuse to care for them and abandon them to a terrifying group home. Even as they plot to be taken in by a well-to-do family, they come to learn they'll never really belong anywhere or to anyone—that all they have to hold onto is each other. For thirty years, the sisters try to make sense of what happened. Their imprisoned father is a specter in both their lives, shadowing every choice they make. One spends her life pretending he's dead, while the other feels compelled--by fear, by duty--to keep him close. Both dread the day his attempts to win parole may meet with success. A beautifully written, compulsively readable debut, Randy Susan Meyers's The Murderer's Daughters is a testament to the power of family and the ties that bind us together and tear us apart.

Lanterns in the Dawn Lanterns in the Dawn-humorous, sad, realistic, and bittersweet-is the coming-of-age story of a boy living on a small Midwestern dirt farm. It is written in sparse, clear prose with an undertone of haunting images true to the imagination and insights of childhood. Through sharply drawn characters, it depicts a way of life from a recent yet bygone era that likely will never return. Above all, it is the story of strong pioneer-spirited people who loved the land so dearly they somehow managed to survive in it and through it, as if they were a permanent part of it throughout the ages.
